Susan just tweeted "508 mi. Morton. 117 to go. Getting tired. I wonder why!" Unfortunately, I don't think the bonus miles meant she was done. She's still rolling. Amazing!!

I'm guessing she means they took a wrong turn and added a couple of miles!
Chris called me around noon from mile 495. I'm guessing they'll be done mid-late tonight. Susan was riding with him and his buddy Steve at that point.Last edited by salsabike; 06-19-2011 at 02:34 PM.

9:10 pm at Ashford. 60 miles to go. But they have till 8 am to do it, so they'll get there. They figure they'll get in around 2 am. This 1000k has about 20,000 feet of climbing altogether. E.g., Ashford is one of the entry points to Mt. Rainier National Park, so they're starting to come out of a loop through the Cascade foothills.

Ahh, that makes WAY more sense. I was wondering how that distance could have been crossed so quickly.
I am still in awe. And I'm sure she'll make it.
Go Susan Go!
